Miniere e cantieri come laboratorio di scrittura. La geoantropologia di Franz Fühmann

The essay is structured in 3 paragraphs, which deal with 1) library stratigraphy and textual depths, 2) drilling in relation to operations of inner excavation, 3) the evolution of research in light of the role of the imagination in geo-literature. It shows the relationship of excavation to the depths of the psyche and the imaginary of the mine, which reveals the trauma of a past overshadowed by personal anxieties, as well as the present-day conflict with a political ideology whose rules Fühmann only partially accepts.
